In a
place where summers are hot and bright and winters are mild and the
Mediterranean Sea is close enough to feel the breeze on your skin, a
house like this is in perfect harmony with it's natural surroundings.
This Mediterranean villa was
designed by Mestre Paco who's followed a design concept of living without borders in a natural,
comfortable environment. This rustic, coastal retreat is all about casual living and relaxation. The stone facade, punctuated by wooden
shutters, creates a picture-perfect exterior, accentuated by the use of
simple patio furniture in the garden. Interior spaces are defined by the
white painted beams, the natural stone walls and floors. Salvaged items
and industrial elements found their place in a house that displays a
melting pot of styles.

SUMMER ESSENTIALS

1. Hammock – Nothing says summer quite like a seat that makes
you recline. While a seaside getaway would be ideal, you can enjoy beach-level
relaxation when you hang one of these up in your own outdoor space.
2. Tank top –
This is an absolute summer essential in my book. A white tank goes with
everything from cutoffs to palazzo pants. They are also a summer travel
must-have.
3. Glass bottles – The soothing green of sea glass is the perfect accent color in a room
full of neutrals and summer linens.
4. Cooking by hand
– This cookbook holds many secrets to bringing the taste of the
Mediterranean home to your own kitchen.
5. Cushions – Whether it be fashion or decor, the thought of mixing
prints can be an intimidating one to most. I like to stick to neutral or
monochromatic patterns, in this case a striped linen and a bold tribal print.
6. Driftwood console – Beachy driftwood provides a fun contrast to the lucite table top.
7. Floppy hat
– This straw hat comes in sixteen colors, and will bring a bit of
glamour poolside (as well as providing some much-needed sun
protection!).

This house is really GREAT ! I wonder, if our 300yrs old Stone house in Piedmont will look so beautiful after having finished our renovations at the end of the year. Look at the works on my other blog:http://www.cascinadisogno.blogspot.comGreetings from Switzerland, Barbara
